Match Booh' Covers "May I have a light? I had a whole book of matches a moment ago, but they've disappeared." An explanation of that familiar phrase was offered yesterday by Miss Hunter Spears, graduate student, who says that the covers are being col lected by the coeds to help a 12-year-old blind boy get a Seeing eye dog. The boy, who lives near Rocky Mount, must have a million-covers be fore the first of December to take ad vantage of a match company to pro vide the dog. Miss Spears, director of collections on the campus, learned of the boy's efforts through Nancy Poe, student at the University's sister school in Greensboro. Nancy has organized the girls at Greensboro to collect covers for the blind boy. The offer was made to the boy through the American Legion from match company. The boy's father was a Spanish war veteran. Boxes have been placed in all of the girls' dormitories and one in the Y. Approximately 6,000 covers have been deposited in them by the coeds, who roam the campus, with a" bowed head looking for safety match covers. Pepsi-Cola covers lead in the num ber collected by 120, Alka Seltzer, Federal Matches, Safty-Edge Waxed Paper, Carolina Inn, Carolina Coffee Shop and Maryland Match company rank among the leaders. However, other covers from Ciro's Italian Village, Washington, D. C, Times Square Hotel, N. Y.

Although he did not deny the rumor, I Dr. Graham said simply, "I am not a candidate," and refused to comment further on the reports from Columbus that he is one of the candidates to be interviewed. Already members of. the board of trustees charged with the task of se lecting a successor to President George W. Rightmire, have interviewed two candidates. They are Dr. Wilson M. Compton, professor of economics at George Washington university, and Dr. James Grover McDonald, Brook lyn educator.

ILY IN THE SO UTHEAST- SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1939 Political Mm I Auk Piano Is Best Hobby Of All, According To Old-East Janitor By BOB BARBER "You can have your stamp collec tions and all those other hobbies; for me, IH take a piano and 10 fingers and have the best time of my life," says Willie. "There's nothing that will keep you company any better than music." Willie, last year a bus boy at Swain hall, is a janitor in Old East and his last name is Hargraves. He's been musical ever since he was 8 years old, when 'he learned to play the piano here in Chapel Hill where he was born. One of his 19 brothers played the banjo and another the guitar. Toerether they performed before a family audience. Since then Willie has followed a more or less musical career, until recently. After his start on the piano he took up the clarinet, guitar and saxa phone seriously. He liked the sax best and studied it harder than the rest. He attended a year of college at Durham and there studied rhythm and arrangement. The reward he got from this study was a job with a New York Negro band. This orchestra was quite well knwon and liked around the Harlem section and was" well-received on the tours it made through the country. It was going places and Willie was going with it but the South was in his blood and he left his job as first sax player and came back to Chapel Hill two years ago. Willie prefers Benny Goodman to and plays the piano in his spare time for, he says "Once you take up music you can't just give it up and forget i T A 1 f XT 1 it. It sticks with you." He plays irregular engagements with a negro band from Durham to keep him "in the feel of things." Willie prefers Benny Goodman to Artie Shaw when it comes to clarinet playing. "No reflections on Mr. Shaw," he says, "but he just dosen't have the tone and quality Mr. Good man has. There'll never be a band as sweet and swingy as Mr. Good man's." Speaking about his own instrument, the saxaphone, Willie says, pretty new instrument and "It's a people just haven't had time to learn to play it like these" instruments that have been invented since way back. In a few years it'll sound a lot better than it does now." And Willie ought to know what he's talking about. Dr. Drucker Addresses Class On Foreign Trride Dr. Peter Drucker, rising young free-lance journalist, spoke on "Ger many's Control of Her Foreign Trade" to A. T. Bonnell's class in prin ciples of foreign trade yesterday morning in Bingham hall. Dr Drucker, whose well-known book, "The End of Economic Man," was published this year and whose magazine articles appear frequently in "Harper's" and the "New Republic," is now engaged in gathering material for an article on agriculture in the United States to appear in "Fortune." When he stopped at the University yes, terday to interview several members of the economics and social science de partments on the agricultural situa tion in the South, he accepted an in vitation to lecture to Bonnell's class. In his talk he evaluated the effects of various control measures enacted by Germany, on the internal econom ics of that country. His outstanding statement was that Germany has used many unorthodox economic practices in attaining, not economic, but po litical and militaristic ends. He cited as an example that that nation has brought about an increase in deposit ed savings by reducing consumption not to supplement the industrial capi tal but to build up a war machine. Commenting on Dr. Drucker's rise in economic circles, Bonnell said, "If his record so far is any indication, he should become very prominent in the next few years." His father, Dr. Adolf Drucker, is a lecturer in the University department of economics.

Art Clark Revamps Standard Model Typewriter To Type German, French And English By HAL TYSINGER On a standard, custom-built type writer Art Clark, freshman, in Man gum dormitory, has had blank keys substituted with a German umlaut, French grave and acute accent marks, and Gothic type, interspersed with the Roman type so that he may write papers in German, French, pr English at will.
